Quotations

“Fewer Millennials go to church than any generation
before them. And fewer are marrying. Because of that lack of matrimony, for the
first time in U.S. history, single adults now outnumber married ones.

“Marriage is
becoming extinct. And our generation is leading the way,” said Jennifer Murff of
Millennials for Marriage at a speech to other young people concerned about this.”

One reason
many may never tie the knot is the number who have seen or lived through the
trauma caused by divorce.

“They’re
concerned and hesitant to jump into a relationship because they don't want to
see that same kind of pain and heartbreak in their own lives,” Josh Craddock of
Personhood U.S.A. told CBN News.

“25 percent of
Millennials do not get married at all,” Murff added. “They don't want to get
married. They’ve said ‘this is not for me.’”

Craddock added, “Millennials have considered marriage to be
more of a capstone than a cornerstone institution. You have to have education,
you have to have a job, you have to have your life together before you get
married. That’s just not true. When you get married, that’s something that
you're going to build on. You can support one another through getting an
education, through getting jobs and all of that. So I find it to be a mutual
support system.”
